1
I'm starting at OnlyFans and I'm selling merch.
2
This has taken way too long and I'm very sorry, but it is so worth it.
3
The designs are unreal.
4
We've upgraded the blanks so they're even better quality than last time.
5
And this bursting heart design with Japanese text in the middle is just so beautiful.
6
Also, your girlfriend's new favorite hoodie.
7
I apologize to anybody who buys this because I get the sense that your girlfriend's just gonna steal it.
8
All of it is available right now at mwmerch.com and it's only available for six days.
9
So get it once it's gone.
10
You won't be able to buy it again that's it completely
11
sold out never to be printed in the future mwmuch.com in
12
amish country shooting a series like everything it's nuanced it's complicated the amish have the schwartz
13
and troopers which are the most conservative you'd think of the schwartz and troopers
14
when you think of amish no phone no electricity it has
15
the beachy those would be the most liberal they drive around Okay.
16
What makes them Amish?
17
Yeah.
18
You don't really get a plaque or anything.
19
I guess you just say, I'm Amish, and you play the game as in, have you seen how they cut their beards?
20
Yes.
21
Right?
22
Yes.
23
Like, you wouldn't be able to be Amish looking like you're looking or me like I'm looking.
24
Okay. Be unacceptable.
25
Yep.
26
But you're part of the church.
27
You're part of the Amish church.
28
You live by their ways.
29
But you also have some technology.
30
depending on the type of Amish.
31
Yeah.
32
Okay.
33
So in the book, stuff like the cat, I'm in an Airbnb in the countryside, Amish country.
34
Cats are meowing outside.
35
I don't know why there are cats outside, but I go out to feed them.
36
Door closes behind.
37
I'm in my underwear.
38
Sun's coming up.
39
Go to open the door.
40
Oh shoot.
41
My phone's inside.
42
Code is on my phone.
43
I got to shoot a video.
44
I hear the hooves coming down the road, the steel wheels of the carriages, the Amish are coming, the Amish are coming.
45
And I'm in my underwear, like one of those dudes with a metallic blanket.
46
I'm reflecting pasty white to the world.
47
And so there are two questions in my head.
48
I mean, there's two ways to go about this.
49
I walk to the most conservative Amish people's house, the shorts and troopers in my underwear,
50
bald, naked, pretty much, you know, pass their kids and say, Hey, can you help me get into this house?
51
Or I got to break through the window of the house where I'm staying.
52
And so I throw a big rock through the window.
53
Why?
54
You would too.
55
Why?
56
Are they scary?
57
You have to.
58
Just think, I mean, you're a ripped, good looking guy, but even you showing up to an Amish home,
59
some of the most conservative people.
60
You think you get shocked?
61
What would happen?
62
No, they wouldn't shoot you.
63
It would just go wrong, I think.
64
I don't think it would go well.
65
Okay.
66
It'd be so out there.
67
I imagine news doesn't travel that fast in the Amish world, though.
68
It does.
69
Okay.
70
They're like aspen trees.
71
They're all connected.
72
Okay.
73
Seriously.
74
They know what's going on.
75
They're more connected than we are.
76
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
77
than the internet um
78
so call the people obviously hey sorry i broke your window i'll replace it
79
and whatnot there's a lot of that stuff behind the scenes of video making
80
which when the cameras are off the thoughts
81
that come through what i've learned on the journey
82
and also how i started into this after high school taking a road trip across the country
83
and a lot of historical context in there
84
and just an overall pro got it we're in difficult times a lot of doom
85
and gloom you can get that all day long on the internet
86
or turn on the tv here's a here's a space to go
87
that being the book
88
or the audiobook you can open up 10 separate chapters easy to read they're all separate on their own
89
and smile about america
90
and learn something and connect connect with your fellow americans
91
so the publisher reached out because they saw the channel
92
and they're like do you want to do uh something off your channel
93
they're thinking to zag
94
while everyone is zigging right now there's a lot of heaviness a lot of doom
95
and gloom in the country just think of the western world
96
overall maybe all the world i don't know um they're trying
97
to think front lines hey how can we go the opposite direction here and And that's what my book is.
98
Nice, wholesome.
99
Yeah, I'd like to think so.
100
I get in a little heaviness, but not too bad.
101
It's mostly uplifting, positive.
102
Give me some more stories about the Amish.
103
Okay, here's one for you.
104
You'll like this being English.
105
I'm English too in the Amish world.
106
Everyone here is English.
107
Okay.
108
Anyone that's not Amish is English?
109
100%.
110
Including the Japanese?
111
Black, Japanese.
112
Brilliant.
113
Female, you're English.
114
Oh, that's fantastic.
115
You're not them, you're English.
116
Dude, and they said that the imperial colony had died.
117
No, we're still going strong in the Amish.
118
Go fuck yourself.
119
So you're English, I'm English.
120
Yes, and Italian apparently.
121
Old order Amish can't drive, but they're out in the countryside.
122
They need rides really bad, okay?
123
So I meet this guy, his name's Marcus.
124
I'm like, Marcus, I'm making videos.
125
and he's like hey i can bring you into my buddies
126
my old geezer buddies playing shuffleboard in an amish barn out
127
in the sticks i'm like man that's gonna be cool i
128
gotta drive an hour to marcus it's another 45 minutes to
129
his buddies i go to marcus's place pick him up oh howdy peter how you doing oh hang on
130
so he's okay to get in a car
131
but not to drive he can't drive he needs this is like he It's English to drive.
132
This is English.
133
English you have to drive.
134
So this is like Shabbat a little bit for Jewish people.
135
Yes.
136
It's like we can't turn on or off the light, but if we got somebody else that can turn the light on or off.
137
Which I did a video on that too.
138
Okay.
139
I got in Shabbat, but okay.
140
So pick Marcus up.
141
Yep.
142
About halfway through the drive, I'm thinking, great time to start the video.
143
Rolling Hills, Holmes County, Ohio.
144
Beautiful.
145
Marcus is a character.
146
I bring out the camera.
147
I'm like, he's like, what are you doing?
148
I'm like, I'm just going to start the video.
149
He's like, I don't know.
150
Let's not do that right now.
151
So I'm reading the room.
152
Okay, cool.
153
Go to the event with the shuffleboard.
154
Feeling it out with his guys, characters, great scene, a lot of yelling.
155
They're speaking Pennsylvanian Dutch.
156
What the fuck is that?
157
Which is their language.
158
It's like a form of German.
159
Yeah, that's their native language.
160
they call it dutch not to do with the netherlands
161
but like doish where did
162
that come from came from the motherland from europe right they came to the u.s to flee religious prosecution persecution
163
and william penn in pennsylvania said hey come on over you
164
guys are great with the land you're great with farming
165
and they could live to their own tune in america there are a lot of carve out carve-outs for them.
166
And that's a part of my book, neither here nor there.
167
People in America, Chicanos, Amish, Siberian, Yupik, who are American, but living in their own universes.
168
Okay.
169
So get the event.
170
I'm not feeling the vibe.
171
I got to feel the vibe.
172
And ends up, I don't shoot a video.
173
And then I try, I'm a little bit confused, but whatever.
174
I'm just going with it.
175
Drive Marcus home, 45 minutes, drive back to my place an hour.
176
I tell an Amish guy a couple of days later, he's like, oh yeah, he totally played you.
177
The Amish bum rides from English and he just roped you in.
178
He wasn't going to do a video.
179
He finessed you.
180
He was doing no video with you.
181
And I laughed.
182
I thought it was great.
183
You thought that it was on you that you hadn't maybe made everyone feel as comfortable as you should have done, but the video was never on the table.
184
It was never there.
185
yeah and you see you look at the amish
186
and you say that's primitive technology
187
but you just got completely schmoozed by him schmoozed yeah
188
and before the pandemic i did these videos like right around
189
the beginning of the pandemic oh no in the beginning it
190
was like everyone was like oh the amish left behind they're they're not keeping up
191
that would suck to be them then the pandemic happens everyone's like i want some of
192
that they're making their own food hanging out together in the countryside, not worried about a thing.
193
So the book gets into those stories, just like the videos.
194
What about the intense Jewish communities that you've been to see?
195
Yeah, the Hasidics.
196
And again, they're different sects.
197
You have the Satmars would be the most conservative.
198
And then you have the Labavich, which I did a Shabbat dinner with.
199
We had to get approval from the rabbis for me to get in there and shoot that video.
200
The wife shops at Gucci.
201
okay so you have gucci too so conservative it's like the most spartan living homespun yeah in brooklyn
202
in like the center of urban america so that's fascinating um look i think shabbat's cool
203
i think shabbat's cool i i totally respect
204
that i think it's awesome we did uh the guy that does the ads for my show, Sky, one of my best friends had, uh, his bachelor party.
205
It was a couple of years ago.
206
And he decided to do it in Houston.
207
He likes Asian food, Asian culture.
208
And that was it for the theme for the weekend, we did Shabbat on the Friday evening.
209
I want everyone to kind of be here in the moment, I want everyone phones away, we'll do food.
210
So I'm like, I've never done this before.
211
I guess it's secular Shabbat, you could call it.
212
It's basically just don't use your fucking phone for Friday evening and we'll eat some food.
213
Food arrives and he got two pounds of crawfish.
214
and I'm like that definitely doesn't fucking work also there's 25 of us
215
and you got two pounds of crawfish that's like a hundred grams of edible food um
216
so immediately I broke Shabbat got my phone out
217
and ordered pizza for everybody I don't give a fuck about you about this thing um
218
but we did that and we did a Jeffersonian dinner where you have a single question
219
and you're sort of circling the room and I can see the allure of it.
220
I really can.
221
You know, an equivalent of a, a lot of people are doing a digital Sabbath now on a Sunday where, okay, I'm just no screens for, you know, nine till nine on a Sunday.
222
After coming back from a seven day silent meditation retreat with no screens, having little doses of that, I think make complete sense.
223
So you can do, regardless of whether you're religious or not, or a part of the culture or not, I think that There's a lot of cultural technology,
224
social technology that you can take and bring into your own life.
225
Before we continue, most people in their 30s are still training hard.
226
Their protein is dialed in.
227
They sleep better than they did in their 20s.
228
Discipline is not the issue, but recovery feels somewhat different.
229
Strength gains take a little longer.
230
The margin for error starts to shrink.
231
And that is why I'm such a huge fan of timeline.
232
You see, mitochondria are the energy producers inside of your muscle cells.
233
As they weaken with age, your ability to generate power and recover effectively changes, even if your habits stay strong.
234
MitoPure from Timeline contains the only clinically validated form of urithulin A used in human trials.
235
It promotes mitophagy, which is your body's natural process for clearing out damaged mitochondria and renewing healthy ones.
236
In studies, this supported mitochondrial function and muscle strength in older adults.
237
It's not about pushing harder, it's about actually supporting the cellular machinery underneath your training.
238
If you care about staying strong into your 30s, 40s and 50s and beyond, this is foundational.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
